Value Collection SOF-036 Clear Pvc Tube 1/2 in Id 100 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION SOF-036 is a clear, flexible PVC tube designed for fluid transfer, light pneumatic, and general-purpose plumbing applications. With a 1/2 inch inside diameter, 3/4 inch outside diameter, and 1/8 inch wall thickness, this tube handles working pressures up to 45 psi across a temperature range of 25 degrees F to 150 degrees F. The Shore 68A hardness rating indicates a soft, pliable construction that bends and routes easily without kinking. It is sold in 1-foot increments with a 25-foot minimum cut length from a 100-foot coil. Plumbers, HVAC techs, and industrial maintenance professionals regularly specify this type of tubing for low-pressure service lines and equipment drain connections.

This flexible PVC tube is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a clear, food-contact-safe tube is required. Typical applications include condensate drain lines, water supply connections to appliances, aquarium and irrigation equipment, food and beverage processing equipment, and laboratory plumbing. The clear wall allows visual confirmation of flow without disconnecting the line. FDA compliance and additional regulatory certifications make it appropriate for potable water and food-contact environments where code requires documented material compliance.

Key Features

• Clear PVC construction allows visual flow monitoring without disassembly
• FDA compliant material rated for food and potable water contact
• Flexible Shore 68A hardness routes in tight spaces without kinking
• Rated to 45 psi maximum working pressure
• Operating range of 25 degrees F to 150 degrees F suits most indoor service conditions
• Sold by the foot in 25-foot minimum increments from a 100-foot coil for job-site flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible PVC tube for use with standard 1/2 inch ID barbed fittings, hose clamps, and compression-style tube fittings commonly used in plumbing, HVAC condensate, and light industrial fluid transfer systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians depending on the application. Shut off water supply or depressurize the line before cutting or connecting the tube. Use a sharp tube cutter or utility knife to produce a clean, square cut end for a leak-free barbed or compression fitting connection. Do not exceed the rated 45 psi working pressure or 150 degrees F temperature limit, as PVC tube can deform or fail outside its rated range.
